THE EX- GIRLFRIEND PROJECT
Group 1

The blog created by "EXBF" is a man's desperate attempt to understand the "blatantly stupid mistakes" he has made in his relationships with women. In his "experiment" he taken giant leap into the past to recap - in chronological order- any and all events he can conjure with his ex's in hopes that others can see things from a different perspective and perhaps catch something that he may have missed. EXBF has gone as far posting the intentions of his project and laying out a detaield explanation in terms of how he is going to lay out the information and what separates each relationship.
The project is displayed in webblog format, which according to dictionary.com is, an online diary; a personal chronological log of thoughts published on a Web page. Even though EX BF clearly points out that this isn't a dating diary, or your everyday diary but an "experiment", the readers are more than likely people who are members of blogger community. Those who have an understand of how to use a blog would grab the "jist" of EXBF's blog, however, for those who have no idea what a blog is it would take some time to get use to. The setup of a blog is essentially a bunch of "posts" that the user leaves on their wall, blog, that can be viewed by the public. If you like, users can read leave comments after each post leaving their take on what they have just read, and in this case assist EXBF in trying to understand what it is he is doing wrong or right for that matter. However, it can sometimes be hard to keep up with the blogs sincethey are in chronological order, but EXBF is effective in trying to get the reader caught up.
Since the user, EXBF, has been in several serious relationships he differentiates the different women according to color so the reader doesn't get lost. Other than that I have no noticed any other rhetoricl devices. Since this blog is all based on personal account there is no real authority or credible source that can be considered valuable in term of analyzing the blog.
